could you imagine if they chose HIM to be speedracer? idk just came to mind (that would have sucked)

Wooden Acting, Wooden Dialogue and incapable of self thought. Matrix Reloaded was full of Reeves asking “Why, how,where,who,what and when”.

How does this man still get work?
When’s the next Bill & Ted: We Should be dead sequel coming out?

And I don’t challenge the comedy of Plastic Man, he was always the funny one in the comics and even the show (Baby Plas was a bad idea) I was just wondering about Keanu in the role.

As you suggested, there are other witty guys in the biz that would take this to the bank. Stiller would be spot on, or even the orginal rubberface, Jim Carrey.

* The Fantastic Four.

While Plastic Man and Reed Richards have like powers, can Reed Richards shape himself into everyday objects? This is one of the major strengths of the character-stealth.

* The comedy factor.

It is well established that in the comics (and 80’s cartoon, until the powers that be blasphemed and toned down the “dating” jokes, brought in that abomination Baby Plas ) featuring the character, there has always been either dark humor, satire, and puns. In keeping with this time, the film never has to take itself seriously. They can even poke fun at Plastic Man’s costume, which considering the look of it in a live action context, is almost a given. (Expect occasional Adam Sandler/Mike Myers-like jokes regarding bodily functions and/or questions of possible asexual appearances)

I wouldn’t mind Keanu in the part. However, I’d much rather lobby for Ben Stiller, who could go to town with something like this.

Didn’t say I didn’t like him. When he does his thing, its good. But it seems to be his only thing. Maybe he is tired of it too.
